Abstract
Giuseppe Albano discusses the activities of the Keats-Shelley House, Rome during the period of lockdown in Italy.
Highlights
With the first deaths from Covid-19 reported during the last week of February 2020, and the first ‘red zones’ duly introduced to restrict travel between affected regions, Italy became the first EU country to be hit by the crisis and the first to employ measures that were unprecedented by European standards
On 8 March 2020 the Italian government announced that all museums, libraries, and heritage sites would have to close with immediate effect as part of the national effort to contain the spread of the virus
While a handful of high-profile Italian museums were quick to respond to the lockdown with a series of well-publicized online initiatives, the embracing of the digital realm has generally been slower for smaller museums.[2]
Summary
With the first deaths from Covid-19 reported during the last week of February 2020, and the first ‘red zones’ duly introduced to restrict travel between affected regions, Italy became the first EU country to be hit by the crisis and the first to employ measures that were unprecedented by European standards.
